Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 1187 Backhand
After leaving Linhu Palace, Li Shan relaxed. What happened next had nothing to do with him. Even if the situation was dangerous, Li Yuan would not let him go into battle to lead the troops.

If the Turks can drink from the Mawei River this time as they did in history, it will be Li Shimin who takes the lead.

"I will give some advice to the brotherhood about Hou Junji later, and then I will write to Guo Xiaoke." Li Shimin said softly: "These two people are quite arrogant."

Li Shan was still a little worried and asked in a low voice: "I heard that the Duke of Ju has an old relationship with His Highness?"

"Yes." Li Shimin nodded, "In his early years, my father served as a guard in Taiyuan in the former Sui Dynasty. He and Mao Yue were familiar with each other as brothers. Later, Mao Yue served as the chief of Tiance Mansion and had many assistants."

Li Shimin also knew what Li Shan meant, and whispered: "A teacher who never forgets the past will remember the future."

Li Shan stopped talking. His previous sentence was to ask Li Shimin tactfully whether Tang Jian was reliable. If he was at ease, could he reveal his position to him... In that case, the relationship between Tang Jian and Zhang Zhongjian would be The cooperation will definitely go very smoothly.

Li Shan has always insisted that his identity is within the Qin King's lineage. Apart from Li Shimin and Ling Jing, only Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Changsun Wuji know about it to prevent leaks.

If Li Shan had asked this question two months ago, Li Shimin might have nodded, but "a teacher who never forgets his past affairs". Tang Jian is the chief historian of Tiance Mansion, but Sima Fenglun of Tiance Mansion has already Facts have proved that the subordinate officials of Tiance Mansion are not without the possibility of betrayal.

In this case, Li Shan was too lazy to speak. He couldn't tell Li Shimin that Tang Jian was quite reliable.

Li Shan doesn't have to worry about the next thing. Li Shimin is also responsible for deploying the old troops. At most, he can mention it to Hou Hongtao after returning home and add a few more experienced guards.

Watching Li Shimin return to Shangshu Province, Li Shan transferred to Zhongshu Province and immediately saw Cui Xin who was drafting an imperial edict, and beside him was Yu Wenshiji, the minister of Zhongshu.

"Huairen." Yu Wenshiji waved and smiled, "I have been quite diligent these past two days."

Cui Xin looked over sideways, "Who is Shaoqing Zongzheng?"

Li Shan coughed twice. He really didn't know who the two young ministers of Zongzheng Temple were.

Yuwen Shiji laughed, pulled Li Shan to sit down, and looked at the basket in the latter's hand, "This is it?"

"Grapes." Li Shan chuckled and said, "This is just a tribute sent to the palace."

Yu Wenshiji understood immediately and lowered his voice: "Really wash Mrs. Cui's feet?"

"How come Uncle Shi is not like everyone else?"

Li Shan was pretending, and Cui Xin's face turned dark... The son-in-law was really washing his wife's feet. His wife had been nagging him for several days, and she wished she could squat down and wash her feet too.

At this time, Xiao Yu strode in from the outside and handed the document to Cui Xin, "Drafting the imperial edict, Yan Bo transferred the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Xue Yuanjing became the minister of Zhongshu."

Cui Xin responded, glanced at Li Shan, and waited for Xiao Yu to walk away before asking: "It has nothing to do with you, right?"

"It has absolutely nothing to do with it." Li Shan shook his head seriously, "In addition, Pang Yu was transferred to Daizhou, Hou Junji, Feng Li, Duan Zhixuan, Shi Danai, and Hou Hongtao were transferred to Lingzhou, Zheng Shanguo was transferred to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Fang Xuanling was transferred to Lingzhou. Minister of the Ministry of Personnel."

"The big deal has been decided." Yu Wenshi said quietly.

Yu Wenshiji was one of the first people to know about Li Shan's life experience. He was also the Sima of Tiance Mansion. Although he had not asked, he almost guessed that Li Shan had already joined King Qin's sect.

Li Shan didn't say anything. Yuwen Shiji looked at Li Shan's face and whispered, "Does Pei Shiju still have the ability to return to heaven?"

"Who knows!" Li Shan exclaimed, "My father-in-law, my son-in-law will go to Zhaode later and will be late when he returns home. Please ask my father-in-law to take the grapes home." "Huh?" Yu Wenshiji was very surprised. , looked at Cui Xin, "Mr. Cui these days..."

Seeing Cui Xin's dark face, Li Shan quickly got up and went out. At Zhuque Gate, he met Wang Junkuo, the new right prison guard general, and smiled and chatted for a few words.

At that time, when Wei County was victorious and then Liu Heitai was captured, Wang Junkuo led his troops to participate in the battle, and he and Li Shan were old acquaintances. Later, Luo Yi came to Beijing, and Wang Junhao was transferred from Daxingtai, Shaanxi Province to be the governor of Youzhou, until the battle of Tiantai Mountain last year Later, Li Shimin transferred Wang Junkuo, Huang Junhan, and Li Shiji to Chang'an because his generals suffered heavy losses.

Moreover, Wang Junkuo and Li Mengchang started the army together. Li Mengchang and Li Shan were considered brothers-in-law, and it was Li Shan who recommended him as the general manager of Longzhou, so they were related.

However, Li Shan is not very optimistic about Wang Junkuo. He always feels that this person always has a smile on his face, but his heart is hard to understand and his methods are dirty.

Wang Junkuo entered the mountains as a bandit in his early years and was surrounded by the army. He faked surrender and succeeded in a sneak attack. Similar methods were used more than once or twice. Song Laosheng, who once forced Li Yuan to retreat, was fooled and lost his master.

After Li Yuan raised troops in Jinyang, he sent people to recruit him to surrender. Wang Junkuo pretended to surrender again. He turned around and attacked Li Mi in Wagangzhai. However, because he was not taken seriously by Li Mi, he defected to Datang again.

Although Wang Junkuo had considerable military exploits in the battles of Luoyang and Hulao, such a resume... is difficult to convince people.

Wang Junkuo looked at the back of Li Shan driving his horse away from a distance, his face uncertain. In the early years of the Shandong War, he was ordered to lead his troops north to participate in the great victory of Wei County. After discovering that Li Shan was actually planning the plan, he immediately judged Li Shan and the King of Qin. However, after Li Shan beheaded Cui Bo to quell the civil rebellion, he began to doubt his own judgment.

What is the position of this King Si of Wei?
Wang Junkuo wondered in his heart, should he need to be more careful?
"Aron."

Outside Li's house, Li Shan, who had not yet fallen off his horse, found that Fan Shiyi had appeared beside him at some unknown time.

"arranged?"

"Yeah." Fan Shiyi said with a smile: "That guy still wants to be in Pingkangfang."

Paralyzing King Ma Bin, you are afraid that I will not be hacked to death by Cui Xin... Li Shan secretly cursed, "Just make arrangements and be careful. Someone may be watching during this period."

"Don't worry, Aaron."

Li Shan turned over and dismounted. After hesitating for a moment, he waved for Fan Shiyi to come closer and whispered in his ear: "Fan Feng now?"

"It's still the same business." Fan Shiyi lowered his voice and said, "Do you want him to keep an eye on Pei's house?"

"No need." Li Shan narrowed his eyes and said, "Rent a house in Yongchangfang or Guangzhaifang and let him live there."

Fan Shiyi's heart tightened. Yongchangfang and Guangzhaifang were the two closest to the East Palace.

Li Shan knew well that when Li Shimin moved to Tiance Mansion, Li Shimin, Ling Jing, Li Jiancheng, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and even Li Yuan would all feel that if there was any movement in the East Palace, they would attack Tiance Mansion.

But Li Shan felt that Pei Shiju would not do such an obvious thing. If there was really something unusual in the East Palace, there should be other possibilities.

"Alang?"

Without Fan Shiyi's reminder, Li Shan had already heard the footsteps and turned around to see Li Qianyou, Li Keshi and Li Zhaode coming out.

It has been a year since I last saw him. Li Qianyou, who was handsome and prosperous back then, now has a look of vicissitudes of life on his face, but Li Zhaode has lost his childishness and looks calm.
